A/N – Stephanie Meyer owns it all. I do however own a spiffy new Dell Mini10 and a mostly chew pack of forever mint chewing gum (sorry guys, I'm an awful gum chewer)
This is my first attempt at fanfic and my first attempt at writing something other than memos on revenue recognition and reasons why internal controls are failing and millions of dollars are going down the shithole.
A big shout to Megsly for helping me with the nitty gritty and beta'ing and to her and Sarah for inspiration and putting up with my perv and crass self for all these years. w00t
I will include the playlist to each chapter that struck me the most during writing:
Courage Robert - Meg and Dia
How Can We Be Lovers – Michael Bolton
Half Asleep – School of Seven Bells
Change is Gonna Come – Gavin DeGraw
Your House – Jimmy Eat World
Sweet Religion – Imogen Heap
Hoes In My Room – Ludacris
Chicago – August 12, 2009
Police continue to investigate a series of missing person's reports. Lt. Mike Newton of the Chicago Police Department continues to deny questions, citing the department doesn't have any conclusive evidence that the missing persons cases are linked. The public has been asked to increase awareness of the location of loved ones and to increase measures to remain safe.
To date, there have been thirteen persons reported missing. Several of the missing persons belong to the esteemed upper class Gold Coast area of the city. At least five of the reported missing are known to be frequent visitors of the renowned vampire night club elusiV. Families of the missing have declined to comment.
The night club opened its doors eight years ago providing the Chicago area with its first high profilevampire managed establishment. Since then, many other vampire run businesses have opened and have been met with mostly positive reactions. Many inhabitants enjoy the business hours the "after dark" community provides as many products and services can be found at all hours of the night.
elusiV caters to those who hold no inhibitions in life and those who wish to experience extreme pleasure only the supernatural are said to provide. The club boasts that their first-class services allow both human and non-human alike to benefit like never before. Nightclub owners Aro, Caius and Marcus deny any allegations that the missing persons last seen at the club were harmed or abducted. Aro states, "In the eight years of business not one patron has made complaint of bad service or ever not feeling safe."
The paramount success achieved by elusiV has spawned other similar ventures that cater to other sectors of society. Aro, Caius and Marcus refuse to be associated with other such paltry establishments citing that "elusiV cannot be held responsible for the safety of the other patrons when the associates are not properly investigated before hire." The owners refuse further questioning.
As of yet, the allegations surrounding the missing persons has not dampened other vampire run businesses. However, after speaking with several other business owners, they fear that their establishments will be hurt if elusiV does not break free from these missing persons reports.
Lt. Newton has assured the public that the disappearances are being made high priority and officers from other districts are being brought in to help with the investigation.
